DDC, RMI India collaborate for renewable energy solutions in Delhi

The Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC) of Delhi has collaborated with RMI India to develop the framework to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy solutions in Delhi, especially solar energy. The collaboration aims to promote Rooftop Solar (RTS) technology in Delhi through experience and knowledge sharing, multiple stakeholder convenings, technical knowledge sharing, and research.

The partnership was signed between DDC Delhi and RMI India recently in the presence of Jasmine Shah, DDC Delhi Vice Chairperson and Akshima Ghate, Managing Director, RMI India. 

RMI India will support DDC Delhi in tapping into global best practices and enable Delhi to become the leading state in terms of Rooftop Solar (RTS) adoption. Both organisations will also be hosting a National Consultation on Delhi’s new Solar Policy in collaboration with the Power Department at the India International Centre (IIC) on 12 May.

The consultations are expected to help Delhi Government identify barriers and challenges to deployment of solar rooftop in commercial, industrial and residential buildings. 

Delhi government had notified the Delhi Solar Policy 2016 to promote the adoption of rooftop solar units in residential as well as commercial buildings in Delhi, which kickstarted the adoption of solar energy in Delhi at a mass scale. The policy outlined a combination of regulations, mandates, incentives, and tax breaks for the growth of rooftop solar power in the capital.  The Delhi Solar Policy 2016 had strongly advocated performance-based incentives for domestic households coming forward for installation of solar panels.
